How can we install the Xilinx Vivado-HLx toolsets?
1

2
00:00:05,290 --> 00:00:09,070
Let’s download the software toolsets and install them on our pc or laptop. 
2

3
00:00:11,490 --> 00:00:13,890
The installation process consists of four steps:
3

4
00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:16,830
First, create an account at the Xilinx website
4

5
00:00:17,100 --> 00:00:23,970
Second, download the Vivado HLx WebPACK and Editions for Windows or Linux. Then, follow the
5

6
00:00:23,970 --> 00:00:25,130
installation process.
6

7
00:00:25,380 --> 00:00:28,470
Finally, install the Basys 3 board definition files.
7

8
00:00:30,500 --> 00:00:36,710
To download the software, go to the Xilinx website at www.xilinx.com
8

9
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:42,680
The software that we are going to use along this course is free to install and use, of course, after 
9

10
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:47,720
accepting a couple of end-user license agreements, like most software tools.
10

11
00:00:48,110 --> 00:00:51,490
However, you have to create an account on the website. 
11

12
00:00:51,500 --> 00:00:55,430
It is better to do that right now if you don’t already have an account.
12

13
00:00:56,450 --> 00:01:01,490
For doing so, click on the user icon and select the “Create new account” option.
13

14
00:01:02,460 --> 00:01:08,380
If you already have an account just login into the website by clicking on the user icon and select 
14

15
00:01:08,380 --> 00:01:15,780
Now click on the Products link in the Xilinx webpage. Then click on “Vivado Design 
15

16
00:01:15,810 --> 00:01:19,230
Suite-HLx Edition” under “Hardware Development Tools.”
16

17
00:01:20,130 --> 00:01:26,370
Clicking on the “Download Vivado” option takes you to the download page which you can find your desired 
17

18
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:27,680
version and edition.  
18

19
00:01:27,910 --> 00:01:35,550
Find the “Vivado HLx 2019.2: WebPACK and Editions ” and download the windows or Linux version 
19

20
00:01:35,550 --> 00:01:36,770
based on your OS. 
20

21
00:01:37,320 --> 00:01:38,940
It asks you to sign in 
21

22
00:01:38,940 --> 00:01:45,060
if you haven’t done that yet. Double click on the downloaded file and follow the installation process. 
22

23
00:01:45,690 --> 00:01:51,840
The installation wizard asks you to enter your Xilinx username and password. Use the same username 
23

24
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:55,530
and password that you have already created on the Xilinx website. 
24

25
00:01:56,460 --> 00:02:00,210
Make sure that the Download and Install Now option is selected. 
25

26
00:02:02,990 --> 00:02:09,560
Accept the End User License Agreements and press Next. Select the Vivado option in the Select Product 
26

27
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:15,650
to Install page and press Next.
Then, select Vivado HL WebPack option in the Select Edition 
27

28
00:02:15,650 --> 00:02:17,180
to install page and press
28

29
00:02:17,180 --> 00:02:20,830
Next. Accept the default tools and devices 
29

30
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:25,940
in the Vivado HL Webpack page. Choose your desired installation path in the “Select Destination 
30

31
00:02:25,940 --> 00:02:28,040
Directory” page and press Next.
31

32
00:02:28,310 --> 00:02:29,990
Then press the install button. 
32

33
00:02:31,470 --> 00:02:37,500
It might take a couple of hours based on your internet connection and computer speed. After the installation 
33

34
00:02:37,500 --> 00:02:42,950
process is finished, we should download the Basys 3 board definition files and install them under 
34

35
00:02:43,220 --> 00:02:45,570
vivado toolset directory. For this purpose, 
35

36
00:02:45,690 --> 00:02:52,020
connect to the Digilent Github site at github.com/Digilent/vivado-boards. 
36

37
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:57,990
This repository provides several board definition files for the boards designed by Digilent.
37

38
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:04,290
We should copy the files under the Basys3 folder into the proper path in the Xilinx vivado 
38

39
00:03:04,290 --> 00:03:10,050
installation directory. Clone the repository, then find Basys3 folder and copy that to 
39

40
00:03:10,230 --> 00:03:11,820
<Xilinx installation folder>\Vivado\2019.2\data\boards\board_files path.
40

41
00:03:11,910 --> 00:03:16,110
<Xilinx installation folder>\Vivado\2019.2\data\boards\board_files path.
41

42
00:03:16,290 --> 00:03:18,480
<Xilinx installation folder>\Vivado\2019.2\data\boards\board_files path.
42

43
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:20,100
<Xilinx installation folder>\Vivado\2019.2\data\boards\board_files path.
43

44
00:03:22,330 --> 00:03:27,740
After installing the toolsets, the question is: How can we test the installation? In the next video 
44

45
00:03:27,910 --> 00:03:31,390
I will explain how to test the installation using the Basys-3 board.
